1996 IUCN red list of threatened animals
    Baillie, Jonathan | Gärdenfors, Ulf | Groombridge, Brian | Rabb, George | Stattersfield, A. J.

The "1994 Red List of Threatened Animals" was a major advance on its predecessors in clarity of layout and amount of information presented. This is taken further in the 1996 edition, which is also the first global compilation to use the complete new IUCN red list category system. Also for the first time, all mammal species have been assessed. This group and the birds are the only taxonomic classes where a comprehensive evaluation has been made. The reptiles, amphibians and fishes previously listed have been reassessed using the new system, and future editions will aim to cover all species in these groups.

Biodiversity in the seas : implementing the Convention on biological diversity in marine and coastal habitats
    De Fontaubert, Charlotte | Downes, David R. | Agardy, Tundi

Intended to promote effective application of the biodiversity Convention in coastal and marine environments.

The report explains the challenges that marine and coastal biodiversity pose for the achievement of the Convention objectives and identifies the policy tools that will be most effective for implementing the Convention in marine and coastal areas.
